Biography

Christopher Artinian was born and raised in Leeds, West
Yorkshire. Wanting to escape life in a big city and
concentrate more on working to live than living to work, he moved to the Outer
Hebrides in the north-west of Scotland in 2004, and has lived there ever since
with his wife and dogs.
He released his debut novel, Safe Haven: Rise of the Rams in
February 2017. This was the first instalment of a post-apocalyptic zombie
trilogy. Book two, Safe Haven: Realm of the Raiders continues the fast moving
and often terrifying story and book three, Reap of the Righteous concludes the
first chapter in the gripping saga. With a new Safe Haven story in production,
fans can rest assured that Mike and his family are going to be around for some
time to come.
In October 2017, he won the prestigious Zombie Book of the
Month Award for Rise of the RAMs. In December 2017 he was also awarded with the
prestigious, "Best New Author" award by the Reanimated Writers group.
In addition, Safe Haven won the "Best Series" award in the popular
GMZ poll.
For fans of the Safe Haven books, a stand alone short story
featuring one of the main Safe Haven characters was published as part of an
anthology (Undead Worlds). Christopher was also featured in the Treasured
Chests anthology and another of his stories, "Condemned" was released
in the Zombie Road
anthology.
